Viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day, and wow. What an interview that just was that you had with Stephanie Winston wolkoff who wrote the new book about melania trump. It was even better when i saw it the first time in game of thrones. Oh, listen, theres so much in this book. Its a page turner because she doesnt pull any punches. You heard her. She believed she had a best friend. She now feels used. The machinations and the production over arranging the picture at the inauguration and ivanka trump sending pictures of where she wanted to be and what they did to make sure she wasnt there. Its all in here and very juicy and sort of leaves you feeling dirty in some ways because of how calculating it is. Winter is coming as they say in game of thrones. More than 1,000 lives lost to coronavirus in a single day, again. God help us if the country gets numb to that. This morning there growing concern about a rise of cases in the midwest and the Coronavirus Task force is concerned about iowa. That state registered a 22 Positivity Rate in testing yesterday. Think about that. Thats more than one in five people tested who had the virus. The task force is calling for a mask mandate and the closing of the bars and the governor has been reluctant sound familiar . As of this morning, more than 25,000 coronavirus cases have been reported in College Campuses in 25 states. Ames plans to let 25,000 fans into the stadium to watch football in a couple of weeks. A remarkable move from the medical panel at the National Institutes of health. They say theres no evidence to support the use of convalescent plasma to treat coronavirus patients. That puts them at odds with President Trump and the fda which has fast tracked approval of that treatment. We are following the fallout from President Trumps trip to kenosha. He never visited with jacob blakes family. He never said his name. Joining me now is the attorney general leading the investigation into jacob blakes shooting. So the governor of wisconsin didnt want the President Trump to visit and you didnt want him to and now that he didnt mention jacob blakes name what do you think the impact was . Thank you for having me. The reason we didnt want President Trump to come to kenosha and the mayor asked him not to come is that the situation on the ground has improved significantly over the last few days, but its still a tense situation and this president consistently fans the flames of tension rather than defuses the situations. What we saw yesterday was unfortunately consistent with what we expected. He didnt acknowledge systemic racism. He didnt talk about condemning the violence that we saw from a vigilante who killed two people and shot a third person. Its not the kind of leadership we need and hopefully we will see that kind of condemnation from the white house rather than divide us coming forward. You brought up Kyle Rittenhouse charged in the two deaths there. I know your office is not investigating him per se but i want to know what you think the impact on enforcing the law is when the president in a way offers a defense for the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse. What are your concerns that the impact of that will be Going Forward . It makes our communities less safe when the president does this. Going all the way back to charlottesville when the president talked about there being fine people on both sides, hes refused to condemn vigilante violence, white supremacist violence. We need to be clear that violence no matter what the motivation is unacceptable. Violence and destruction in our communities is not acceptable. Its a simple thing to say. We need the president to say it. When he doesnt say that, it imboldens people who are vigilantes like this. So can you give us an update on where the jacob blake investigation stands . Were an independent agency. Were the department of justice and that ensures that the investigation will be conducted independently, but also with integrity. We want to have a full and thorough investigation. Were moving as swiftly as we consistent with those goals. Were vigorously pursuing justice. Over 80 witnesses have been interviewed, over a hundred pieces of evidence has been collected and the investigation is moving forward. More than 20 videos i understand. Is that just cell phone video, video from the area or is in actual dash cam footage . There are a variety of videos but it does include dash cam video. The fact that theres a video collected it doesnt mean it shows anything relevant to the case necessarily. These are just videos that were collected and the reason its so important that we have such a thorough investigation here, so that we can get to the truth of what happened. We can get justice for those involved and the people of kenosha will know that the investigation conducted here is one that was fair and thorough. I know theres a lot you cant talk about with the investigation so in broad terms explain to me the policy in wisconsin for police to use their firearms. When it is justified . An officer is allowed to use deadly force or force that potentially could be deadly if the officer reasonably believes that a person threatens either their life or the life of a third person or to cause serious Bodily Injury to them or another person if a threat is imminent. Explain to people so they understand who have seen the video where they see what appears to be jacob blake moving away from the officers how then could that pose a reasonable threat to an officer . Im not going to weigh in on the ultimate merits of the investigation, ultimately a charging decision will be made by a prosecutor here. But we want to gather every piece of evidence we can that bears on that question of whether there was any imminent threat of death or serious Bodily Injury to either an officer or to a third person so that we have as full of a case as possible so that if no charges end up being brought in this case, its as clear to the public why thats the case as possible. If charges are brought, that the case is as strong as possible and that the prosecution will be as strong as possible. Hypothetically, can someone pose a reasonable threat to an officer if theyre moving away from an officer . I want to weigh in on the hypotheticals but we want to collect the evidence fully as possible. If charges are brought, a jury will make the decision about where that where the facts are and how the standard applies to the facts. Attorney general josh wall, thank you for being with us this morning. Thank you for having me. Joining us now, van jones and cnn White House Correspondent john harwood. Van, i want to start with you about the president s trip to kenosha quickly. He didnt meet with the blake family. Do you understand what the point of that trip was . No, i dont, but i do know the longer we talk about violence and unrest and how hes handling it or not handling it its all advantage trump. In other words, this campaign is going well for donald trump because were not talking about the economic devastation that people are experiencing or the virus really. I think its time for us to recognize we are in a very perilous situation. If you want to see a change in november. We have two social movements both have edges of violence to them. One on the left, one on the right. I think its baked in that donald trump is not going to challenge very strongly the Police Violence the vigilante violence and people quite frankly are comfortable with that but how are democrats and progressives going to deal with the violence in our own movement . I think joe biden can move his own movement in a better direction, lead a National Moratorium on these nighttime marches. That would separate the responsible, productive demonstrations that have united the whole world from some of the other demonstrations that are just not as useful. There are things that joe biden and other progressives can do. They can begin to push down on the violence in our movement and then turn it back toward the people who are actually suffering. The businesses there have been a couple of hundred businesses hurt by arsonists and thousands destroyed by mishandling this violence. We need to get back to the conversation about the millions suffering from the trump economy and suffering from the virus. Along those lines, wisconsin is in the midwest and close to iowa where theres been an incredible rise in cases. The president was right there. He was right next do. What did he say about the pandemic when he made his visit to the midwest yesterday . He didnt focus on the pandemic at all. And thats part of the point that van is making. I will say though that americans are living through this pandemic. They know day to day about the economic dislocation in their communities. They know about the death toll in their communities so im not sure trying to talk about Something Else when americans are living that reality is necessarily all that effective. But what we have seen from the president is hes affirming exactly what joe biden says hes doing. Joe biden is saying i condemn violence on the left, i condemn violence on the right. Most police are good, most protesters are good, lets pull the country together. Donald trump is saying, no, im not doing that. Im trying to do divide, im not going to say jacob blakes name, i wont talk about systemic racism. Im only going to focus on the police and those supporting the police and egg on the white vigilantes who have injected themselves into the situation and his calculation in a campaign that hes losing is that in i can turn the temperature high enough, then i can bring out the salience of fears among white people about the ways that the country is changing and make them concerned for their safety. The vast majority of the people say the country is headed in the wrong direction, but well watch the polling over the next couple of weeks and see in the aftermath of these conventions whether this shift in the conversation that van referred to is going to be effective. Yeah, what about that, van . As john just said, former vp biden did condemn the violence, but are you saying it hasnt been loud enough, not enough people on your side, the democratic side are doing it . I mean, how do you do you think he can seize this moment in a different way . Look, i think the vast majority of people remember the summer where we had massive, peaceful protests, people of every color, every kind, you had white people, you know, doing peaceful protests. Talking about black lives matter in utah where there aint no black people. People said it was the biggest social Justice Movement in history, overwhelmingly nonviolent. We have to get back to that unity and solving problems and thats being overshadowed by the unrest on either side. Mostly on the vigilante side, but on the Progressive Side as well. How do you do that . I think a moratorium on nighttime marches would be a useful Common Ground that biden could be a part of. I think also were coming up on 200,000 deaths. There should be a National Week of mourning where we bring forward all of these voices, all of these stories of the people we have lost. And also people are tired of the lockdown. When we say well follow the science, people are afraid that biden will keep us locked down. The chink in the armor is the need for tests for all. It is possible to have a National Program for testing for everybody on a regular basis. That would let you open up the economies and the schools safely. Donald trump doesnt like the tests. Lets mourn the people who are suffering. Lets focus on the businesses that are destroyed and lets have a real solution, tests for all, which would open things up. We have got to get back to our solution set. We have to get back to the economy and the covid. We cant stay in the conversation, youre for violence, youre for violence that all plays to donald trump. Were not talking about all of the things that mr. Harwood just mentioned. The president is not talking about that for sure. John harwood, twice in two days inventing this crazy story about a plane. First he says it was a plane coming to d. C. , then he said it was a plane going to d. C. The plane is going somewhere, he cant figure out where the plane is going, but hes convinced that he had a plane full of thugs going to demonstrate somewhere in washington or a different city. He cant seem to figure out which one, but no one at the white house or the Trump White House can provide a shred of evidence that this plane exists or that someone actually told him about the plane. So whats going on here . Is this a delusion . Is this a lie or is it option c, all of the above . Well, probably option c but we do know on facebook, rumors of some vague event of this kind had been circulating and the president tends to circulate things that he sees online. What the president is doing and again we were talking about this before, hes been losing support this year among white sub bash anight women and hes inviting the people to invite the worst fears about people coming to their communities, coming to get you. He doesnt have evidence, but thats not the point. The point is to make people afraid. You were talking about the abc report about the russians encouraging the speculation about joe bidens Mental Fitness and the Trump Campaign is doing the same thing. This kind of encouragement of division and racial incitement is what russian intelligence had been doing in 2016 and right now. We know from Robert Mueller that as they curtail the intelligence briefing hes doing the same thing. Hes simply trying this as a tactic, trying to magnify the extent of division on the idea that that will help him, that will revive some of his flagging support among white people. And we do not know whether thats going to be effective. John harwood, van jones, thank you both so much for being with us this morning. A quick programming note. Join wolf blitzer for an hour long interview with william barr. Watch it at 5 00 p. M. Only on cnn. As we mentioned, iowa has the highest Coronavirus Infection rate in the United States. Why its spreading there, why are they going to put 25,000 people in a stadium to watch a Football Game . What is being done about it . Plus, we have been talking about suburban white women and how do they feel after the Coronavirus Response . You dont believe that 183,000 americans have died . Not of covid, no. I have been a nurse for 27 years and the response to the pandemic has actually been President Trumps greatest achievement. Okay. Well fact check some of those things when we get the pulse of the people, next. Can it help with snoring . Ive never heard snoring. Exactly. No problem. And done and now, all beds are on sale.

This morning the white house Coronavirus Task force is warning the state of iowa to take action to contain the spike of cases there. Iowa has the highest rate of infection in the country right now and yesterday had a 22 Positivity Rate in testing. The state is averaging more than 1,100 new cases a day, so what is going on . Joining us is art cullen from the storm lake times and author of change, resilience and home in americas heartland. Art what is going on there . That infection rate is alarming. Well, yeah, good morning and thanks for having me. It is alarming and here in storm lake im in im in rural northwest iowa and were a meat packing industry. This was the hottest spot in the country, according to the New York Times tracker. We have two tyson meat packing plants here. And so theres a combination of things. Weve got a lot of Nursing Homes in iowa. Were one of the most elderly states along with florida, and we have a governor who has kind of melded her mind with the white house and refuses to order public masking or order opened up the bars early and now has ordered people back into school and were playing Football High School football now. And as you noted earlier on the broadcast, on september 12th, Iowa State University will be hosting 25,000 fans for a Football Game at jack trice field. So its a very anxious moment. Yeah, theres almost beyond belief to me at this point as we look at the map and see that iowas the reddest state in the country. It means the state has the highest infection rate in the country right now and theyll put 25,000 people in a stadium. How can they allow that . Well, the governor is allowing it and she has the authority to do that, i guess. And despite the fact that ames and iowa city, home to the university of iowa, are the two hottest spots in the country right now and the White House Task force suggested that recommended that the governor ought to shut down bars and public gatherings in 61 of iowas 99 counties. The governor has shut down bars in six counties and including ames and iowa city where there were huge gatherings last weekend of students just returning to campus. Yeah, i want to be clear about this, is that the governor is not going as far as the White House Task force wants. Not even close, really, when you think about it. We asked the governor we asked the governor on friday, storm lake times did, if she would ever consider masks and she said no, i have been clear about that. No way, no how are we having masks in iowa. At the same time, our lead story today is interviewing dr. Michael osterholm who is one of the worlds leading epidemiologists at the university of minnesota and hes saying a second wave is under way right now in iowa. Its starting in the urban areas. Iowa city and des moines. And soon it will spread to congregate work areas, Food Processing areas, waterloo, storm lake, from east to west, and this thing we already have 1,800 cases in Buena Vista County and this thing is going to take off like wildfire again. So you wrote in the spring i was reading about how you were feeling in the earlier stages of the pandemic. What about now . How safe do you feel . Well, the fact that im here at home talking to you, i dont leave the house generally. And except to go into the office a couple of times a week to lay out pages in the mornings. But, you know, its im very paranoid about this because there are 3,000 meat packing employees here in storm lake working shoulder to shoulder and theyre only testing 5 of them per week. So we have really and those reports arent made public. So we really have no idea how many cases there are in storm lake because the state was reporting faulty data up through july so we dont know what the infection rate is in storm lake, iowa. And yesterday, the schools are open and no and masking is not required. Recommended but not required. Now, the kids are wearing masks. They seem to get it. Its the parents who have a problem. Art cullen, stay safe, stay healthy if you can. We wish you the best. Thank you. Thank you for shining a light on whats gong in your state. Thanks for having me. Now we want to remember some of the nearly 185,000 americans lost to coronavirus. Patrick halls family says that at 63 tall and nearly 300 pounds he was a big man with a gentle spirit. And that made it doubly hard they say to watch him deteriorate to a frail man just lying in his bed. They say the 40yearold louisiana husband and father of two loved all things outdoors. His wife says people should take the virus seriously. No matter their politics. 36yearold willie worked at a homeless shelter in honolulu. The beloved former High School Assistant coach leaves behind a girlfriend, his parents and a large extended family. Franklin was a receptionist in the sheriffs department. Her daughter said the 71yearold leaves behind four children and two grandchildren. Well be right back.

Suburban white women in Battle Ground states are expected to about big factor in the outcome so we wanted to see how theyre feeling today. We gathered six women, all of whom voted for donald trump in 2016 but not all of them still feel good about that vote. Here our latest pulse of the people. All right show of hands, how many of you voted for donald trump in 2016 . All of you, okay. Show of hands, how many of you plan to vote for him in 2020 . Now, you know just because you raise two hands doesnt mean you can vote twice. I just want to be clear. We do know that. Okay. So three of you plan to vote for him again in 2020. How many of you plan to vote for joe biden . Okay. Three hands went up there. The bottom row. So ann, let me just start with you. How did President Trump lose your vote . I voted for him in 2016 because he wasnt a normal politician. I have to admit i didnt pay too much attention until the pandemic started. The pandemic was the when my eyes began to open and june 1st when he set on the peaceful protesters. How do you feel about your 2016 vote for him . I think its one of if not the biggest mistake i ever made in my life. I feel like voting for him helped kill over 100,000 americans. So jessica, what do you think of the president s response to covid . Its been abysmal. Hes disappointed and abandoned the american people. My defining moment was when he said he takes no responsibility. The buck stops with you. You took the job, do the job. For me it started almost immediately from day one when he lied about how big the crowd was at his inauguration. And i have tracked him since then and he lies every day to us. I dont know the one thing that hes told the truth about, he has not taken one ounce of responsibility for covid. From day one, we should have a National Mandate on wearing masks. We could have had this thing under control in six weeks if he had just done his job. L. A. , what is it like for you as a trump support to listen to your fellow panelists who have, you know, more than soured on him . I think that theyre latently wrong with all due respect. I think donald trump has done an amazing job from day one. And an amazing job through the pandemic. No, he did not cause the pandemic, so when he says it is not my responsibility i did not cause this, that is correct. No one could have done a better job in my opinion. No one. He is the only leader that hasnt followed the science, the data and the experts advice. 4 of the worlds population, we should have under 50,000 deaths. We have over 180,000 deaths. Thats not doing a good job. Lets talk about the death toll. Has everyone read the cdc report that just came out . My goodness, its a fraction of what they said. 6 of the people who died from covid also had comorbidities such as diabetes but theyll still be here today if they hadnt gotten covid. Well, then well agree to disagree. Just to be clear, l. A. , you dont believe that 180,000 americans have died . Not of covid, no. I want you to know that im a nurse and i have been a nurse for 27 years and the response to the pandemic has actually been President Trumps greatest achievement. He was the one that closed off all travel at the begin of february. You guys remember what was happening in january . There were no other elected officials that were even thinking about covid because they were busy doing their impeachment. Joe biden, he was the Vice President for eight years. So why didnt they prepare for a pandemic . They did prepare a pandemic playbook that they that the department of Homeland Security handed over to the trump administration. They had a Pandemic Office which President Trump shut down so they said they did try to prepare the incoming administration. Im also a person a medical information administrator, worked in hospitals for 25 years. And i think President Trump actually has done a pretty good job. Im impressed. Im impressed with how he has garnered the help of the private sector to help get a vaccine going, bringing the ppes in. Developing new ventilators. Its all been good. At the moment, President Trump according to the latest polls is not doing well with women. I think he has Something Like a 33 of all women Approval Rating of 65 disapproval rate. What are your thoughts on that . I dont look at polls. I just talk to the facts. If you watch the rnc as opposed to the dnc, the rnc was filled with people from across this country. People of every race, people of every creed. People of every background, socioeconomic status. Wasnt the dnc also . No, the dnc was very i mean, i didnt see all of it, i will say that. But i probably watched two hours of clips and it was very much the attitude is just get rid of President Trump. I would say the Rnc Convention tripled my opinion that he is inclusive, that he is for sure not racist. I want to ask the bottom row, do not plan to vote for him again, did the rnc, ladies, give you any second thoughts because you heard so many testimonials from people who supported President Trump . Absolutely not. Why not . I mean and they were all his they are all his as long as youre republican, and you go along with the party line, hes your best buddy. If you dont, youre a do nothing democrat. I was a life long republican, but the Republican Party no longer exists. Its trumpism. I mean, when was the last time the Republican Party did not put out a platform . When was the last time any convention was held on Government Property . I have a big following on facebook and everything. I have got thousands of friends, i can tell you, theyre voting for donald trump. I literally do not know one person that voted for him in 2016 thats not going to vote for him again. And i also have voted republican far more often in my lifetime than i voted democrat. But ive got to say i dont know if ill ever vote for a republican again. I am just sickened by the fact that they are not republicans, theyre trumpers, period. We have the Republican Party. Its gone. Interesting to see the pandemic as the breaking point for the three women at the bottom there. It seems as if in some ways the change that was going to happen happened. And it settled into place. It will be curious to see if theres any movement one way or the other from here on out or if attitudes are just baked into the cake at this point. Well, obviously you see a lot of attitudes there that are baked in certainly, but i too found it really interesting after 3 1 2 years after, you know, obviously so Many Democrats have felt that the president has done all sorts of things that should they think cause republicans to give it a double look, it was the coronavirus that got their attention. It makes them look at everything through a different prism, right . So it was the pandemic first and then the president holding up the bible but only because the pandemic made them look at things differently. Interesting to see. For some Trump Supporters its not what he says, but what he does not say. John avlon will explain next. brad some may wonder how apartmentsdotcom has helped more renters find their place than any other site. By digitally upgrading every one of our employees. Physically. Now, everybody at apartments. Com can, and does, give one hundred and ten percent. [rapid typing and clicking] apartmentsdotcom. The most popular place to find a place. President trump has not denounced violence coming from the right, sticking only to the left. Why . John avlon with a reality check. Lets not get numb to this. The president of the United States refused to condemn a killer. This isnt president ial or law and order, but part of a pattern. Back in 2016 white supremacist david duke called trump a great recruiting tool. So when jake tapper to him to denounce david duke i dont know anything about david duke. He condemned him as a bigot back in 2000. I think theres blame on both sides. People that were very fine people on both sides. To this day, some trumpers will argue that he didnt say what you just heard him say. But white nationalists heard him loud and clear and praised trumps remarks. We have seen the same thing with the qanon conspiracy theories. I dont know much about the movement other than i understand they like me very much. Which i appreciate. So now we get to the case of Kyle Rittenhouse. The 17yearold caught on camera shooting at protesters in kenosha, wisconsin. Two were killed. Another wounded. Well, it turns out hes a big trump fan, sitting in the front row at a recent rally. So rather than denounce the vigilante violence, he rationalized it. I guess he was in very big trouble. He probably would have been killed. Do you think its under investigation. Before you buy into the line that trump was just suspending judgment, remember that this is the guy who instantly judges everybody like the pope, merrill streep, mitt romney and by refusing to clearly denounce right wing extremists, trump is offering them a course of dog whilst encouragement. Law enforcement officials are concerned that the political rhetoric used by the president to inspire his Political Base has been viewed by some violent White Supremacists as a call to violent action. Another former trump official endorsing joe biden said that trump is ignoring white ring extremists who want to start a race war. So its notable that when mike pence rightfully honored officer underwood killed during the oakland riots he left out the fact that the officer was allegedly shot by a member of a far right Extremist Group that wants a second civil war. Instead, pence appeared to insinuate he had been killed by leftists. Well, heres what he said. I condemn violence of every kind, but anyone, whether on the left or the right. And i challenge donald trump to do the same. Is that so hard . Apparently it is for President Trump. But refusing to denounce extreme i supporters only fans the flames of this american carnage which is occurring on his watch. And thats your reality check. Our thanks to john for that.

Facebook says its removed a Small Network of fake accounts after receiving a tip from the fbi. Cnns Donie Osullivan is joining us now. This is a significant update. Russian people tied to the same troll group that interfered in the 2016 election are back again. Facebook says, acting on a tip from the fbi. This is the most insight into what russians are doing now today to try to use social media to covertly insert themselves into the American National conversation. Now, the fbi said to facebook all centers around peace data. It posed as an independent left wing online magazine and it recruited american writers and journalists to contribute to it and it paid them. The sort of the stories popping up there attacks on joe biden, Kamala Harris from the left, a tactic we saw russia use in 2016 when according to u. S. Prosecutors they tried to use the social media to split the democratic vote and there are criticisms of trump, u. S. Foreign policy and racial inequality in the u. S. As one might expect from a real left wing site. The good news here, alisyn, this was in the infancy, it hadnt gone viral as such. It wasnt solely focused on the election, but the bad news, the russians are doing this and this is not the only campaign they are working on. And its interesting that facebook and twitter are aware of so tell us about the fake profiles theyre creating. Are they generating them through Artificial Intelligence . Yeah. This is getting dystopian very fast. So the fake left ring recruited real american writers to work on the site, but to do that the website had to have an editor and had to look convincing. Enter alex lacosta. You see a man in spectacles. Doesnt look particularly suspicious, but that picture is actually not of a real person. Experts who analyzed this say that picture that face was generated by Artificial Intelligence, deepfake technology. So before back in 2016 a good way of course to spot a fake account was you know they might be using a stolen picture from somebody elses account, but now with advances in technology its easier for trolls like this to use this technology to create fake faces, fake people to try and evade detection. So alisyn, its very i guess murky online waters we are all swimming in and a messy online information ecosystem and just about 62 days to go to novembers election. When you look at that photo, i dont know how were supposed to be able to tell when somebody is, you know, a fakely generated face. Yeah, its pretty much impossible for the regular social media user to spot that. Even the experts have trouble discerning what is real, what is fake here. So its really troubling to see the use of this. Donie osullivan, thank you. Cnns coverage continues next. Bye. When we started carvana, they told us that selling cars 100 online wouldnt work.
